Abstract
An instrument panel harness is arranged between an instrument panel and a body, and can be easily connected to other wire harnesses, thereby reducing the time and labor required for the operation. A junction box, connected to an instrument panel harness is divided into a first junction box, having a large-current circuit, and a second junction box having a small-current circuit, and a pair of collective-fitting connector portions, fitted together, are provided on the first and second junction boxes, respectively. The first junction box is attached to an instrument panel, and is connected to the instrument panel harness. The second junction box is attached to a body panel and a plurality of harness connector portions, fitted respectively on wire harnesses, are provided on the second junction box.
